Teens: bring your youth group or a friend for a dynamic 20 hours at Appalachian Bible College. The weekend will be filled with group games, worshipful music, engaging skits, food and prizes, and hopefully a little sleep. But the heart of IMPACT is three focused sessions when you'll be challenged and encouraged by studies in God's Word.
The theme for IMPACT 2025 is One Life, One Love. "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever" (I John 2:15–17).

Guest Speaker: Wesley Rinehart
Wesley started doing magic tricks when he was six years old. As he got older, he became fascinated with the performing arts, specifically the Vaudeville-style show business. He tried his hand at everything from sword swallowing to stilt walking. All the while, magic and juggling were two entertainment forms that he just couldn't get away from. Wesley began to perform at his school, at his church, at birthday parties, and even at his orthodontist's office.
More important than his love for these performing arts is Wesley's relationship with Jesus Christ. It was at the age of six that he placed his faith in Him, and he has been slowly but surely transformed by Christ over the years. Wesley loves to use the skills that God has given him to tell others about Him. He travels the country using magic, juggling, and comedy to communicate God's Word to audiences of all kinds. Wesley and his wife Katie have two daughters.
